Is Baileys Irish Cream Gluten-Free?

Celiac.com 01/07/2021 - One question we get a lot is about gluten-free alcohol. Specifically, which brands of Irish cream are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? 

Irish cream is basically sugar, cream and whiskey mixed together. Whiskey is gluten-free. Cream is gluten-free. Sugar is gluten-free. The ingredients themselves are gluten-free. So are they labeled gluten-free, and are they safe for people with celiac disease?
